About YAM Launcher

YAM Launcher is a minimalist Android home screen that presents apps primarily as text rather than icons. It offers customizable shortcuts for frequently used apps and a search box at the bottom of the screen. Work-profile applications are supported, and an optional contact-search function lets users find people as well as apps. The launcher can show weather information through an optional integration. Fonts and font styles can be changed, with the system font used by default. Material You support lets the interface follow Android’s visual theming. Accessibility actions are also supported. These options add practical controls while keeping the main screen uncluttered. YAM is designed for people who prefer a simple text-based launcher without visual effects or a dense grid of app icons. Users can start with its minimal defaults and customize shortcuts, typography, and optional search or weather features as needed. The app is open-source under the MIT License. The supplied description does not specify weather-service requirements or data behavior for optional features, so those details should be checked in the app’s settings and permissions.
